WARNING: Very disturbing news article

This is one of the most disturbing reports I've ever seen.

I'm praying that the witnesses to this horrific crime won't be

traumatized for life; and I'm praying the same thing for the

officers who responded.  I can't imagine any training that could 

steel them to something like this.

I've also been trying to pray for the woman who did this, because she needs to be prayed for.  But.... it isn't easy.

The only one who doesn't need any prayers is that sweet, innocent baby... she died.
